Description
The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Grant
Program/Projects to Improve or Amend Coral Reef Fishery Management
Plans (CRFMPGP) provides funding to the Regional Fishery Management
Councils for projects to conserve and manage coral reef fisheries, as
authorized under the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. Projects
funded through the CRFMPGP are for activities that: (1) Provide better
scientific information on the status of coral reef fisheries resources,
critical habitats of importance to coral reef fishes, and the impacts
of fishing on these species and habitats; (2) identify new management
approaches that protect coral reef biodiversity and ecosystem function
through regulation of fishing and other extractive uses; and (3)
incorporate conservation and sustainable management measures into
existing or new Federal fishery management plans for coral reef
species. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will
be implemented through a Cooperative Agreement. The role of NOAA in the
CRFMPGP is to help identify potential projects that reduce impacts of
fishing on coral reef ecosystems, strengthen the development and
implementation of the projects, and assist in coordination of these
efforts with Federal, state, territory or commonwealth management
authorities and various coral reef user groups. Funding up to
$1,050,000 is expected to be available for CRFMPGP Cooperative
Agreements in FY 2009. These funds will be divided equally among the
Atlantic and Pacific to maintain the geographic split required by the
Act. The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program anticipates that awards
will range from $175,000-$525,000.
